At the Printer... and Yet...
H. P. LovecraftPosted by Harksen Tuesday, January 22 2008 02:36:39Hi there,
I've now heard from the printing company--and it seems that there's an error in the manuscript. One I need to get fixed before I can commence (again)
... So I am asking--no, begging--you for help...
Each story has an illustration. Unfortunately, since I've had to make the layout in Word before converting to .pdf (for the printer), these picture files are automatically compressed in Word, resulting in too low a printer resolution (200 dpi), which is also what PDFWriter thinks is the correct format, then. The original pic files are in fine resolution, but for some goddarn reason I can't get Word to understand that I want to use the original resolution!?
I have tried resolving it manually: Format -> Picture. But even when I've asked it not to use either Web resolution (92 dpi) or Print resolution (aforementioned 200 dpi) nothing happens. Zip. Nada.
Anyone knows how to solve this? I can't get it printed before I somehow get around this... And yes, I know Word sucks as a layout program, but that's what I had to use... So let's stay on topic, ok?
Feel free to leave a message here, or e-mail me at h.harksen.productions@gmail.com.
I am very sorry about this new delay, folks. I honestly believed all problems were solved by now. Let's hope that it will be fixed within a few days--after which it's back to the printer!!!!
Either way--the obstacles with this project (I am a newbie, remember) ought to learn me so many lessons that future projects will be a piece of cake
Btw--the price for the 196 pages long book will be DKK 200,-
Regards,
Henrik
